Who can perform arc flash studies?

Who can perform arc flash studies?

I tried to see if this question had already been answered, but did not find it specifically.  I would like to know if there are any requirements for the qualification of persons performing an arc flash study such as PE, special certification,etc.   

RE: Who can perform arc flash studies?

It is strictly up to the entity paying for the study.  Typically, for government or public utility work, a P.E. would be required. But for a private company, it's between them and their insurance company.  I've seen a lot of studies done in-house by plant EEs.  There is no special certification for doing arc-flash studies.
